We divide 538048 by 73
Our goal is to divide 538048 by 73.

Going ahead to step 1:
73 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 53 / 73

Let's proceed to step 2:
73 can be fit into 53 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 53.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 53 after subtracting 0 from 53.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 53, then repeat: 538 / 73

Step 3:
538 divided by 73 is 7 with a remainder of 27.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we subtract 511 from 538, we get 27.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 27, then repeat: 270 / 73

On to step 4:
73 goes into 270 3 times with a remainder of 51.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 73.0
If we subtract 219 from 270, we get 51.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 51 and continue: 514 / 73

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 514 by 73, we get 7 and a remainder of 3.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 737.0
If we subtract 511 from 514, we get 3.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 38 / 73

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 38 by 73, we get 0 with a remainder of 38.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7370.0
Deduct 0 from 38 and we're left with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
380 divided by 73 is 5 with a remainder of 15.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7370.5
If we take 365 away from 380, we end up with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
150 divided by 73 is 2 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 7370.52
If we take 146 away from 150, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
The number 73 fits into 40 0 times, leaving a remainder of 40.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7370.52
If we take 0 away from 40, we end up with 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 10:
73 goes into 400 5 times with a remainder of 35.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 7370.5205
Deduct 365 from 400 and we're left with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 73 fits into 350 4 times, leaving a remainder of 58.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 7370.52054
If we take 292 away from 350, we end up with 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
73 can be fit into 580 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 69.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7370.520547
If we take 511 away from 580, we end up with 69.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 690, and continue the process.

On to step 13:
73 can be fit into 690 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 33.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 7370.5205479
The remainder is 33 after subtracting 657 from 690.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 330, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
330 divided by 73 is 4 with a remainder of 38.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7370.52054794
Subtract 292 from 330 to get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Our division results in 7370.52054794 with a remaining 3.8e-08.
